I love mine, mine, mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love mine, all mine, all mine đ
trans women, i love you.
you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.
trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.
Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.

The bomb: I sleep with a dagger under my pillow

i will never get the people who are disappointed after reading tfota bc apparently it's lacking romance they thought would be there. like are u telling me âKiss me, kiss me until I'm sick of itâ doesn't make u giggle and kick your feet in the air? "You really do want me. And you hate it" does nothing for you? "Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It's disgusting, and I can't stop" isn't making you FERAL? and "If you're the sickness, I suppose you can't also be the cure" isn't all peak romance. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THOSE DAMN LETTERS

Read banned books. I cannot stress this enough.
Can someone PLEASE just come and put all of these wardrobe pieces in my closet immediately? I love them.

Oh my gosh I want them. So so pretty! I genuinely wish I had the time to teach myself to bind, because do you know how many fanfic books I'd have on my shelves? And Wait & Hope would absolutely be on the top shelf. That story is just...ah. I love it.
My take on Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting ⨠I was inspired by some versions of the Penguin Clothbound Classics I saw on Pinterest. Wait and Hope was one of the first Dramione fanfics I ever read, and it holds a super special place in my heart. I just want to put this Draco in a little jar and keep him safe 𼚠WAIT AND HOPE is free to read on ao3 â keep fandom free.
@procraftination_customs, thank you SO much for sharing this amazing typeset with us, youâre an absolute angel! đ¤
Admittedly, I've been leaving Lionheart alone until there's enough of a chunk of updates, I can devour it. But if you're falling down this rabbit hole, please be aware, Book 4 will rip your heart out and you will adore every glorious minute of it.
I very well might teach myself to bind just to have all 7 books on my shelf. <3
Hiii, my friend and i recently discovered Lionheart, do you know when chapter 74 (and any others you upload with) might be uploaded? It seems like you have an update schedule, weâre just curious what it is? Thank youuuuu
"It seems like you have an update schedule" is the funniest joke I've heard in 2025
if you donât remember anything else for the next 4 years, remember this: donât be a fucking snitch.
will literally never get over this franchise Ö´ÖśÖ¸âž.

This is adorable.
But also, I'm fairly convinced that toorumlk should be illustrating the entire series and that I would rebuy every book.

hi hello friends! does anyone around these parts have some solid knowledge of tarot and a willingness to let me pick your brain? i have a character who has a very specific plot point involving tarot and i know next to nothing, possibly less than nothing, and would love to figure out how to sound like that's not the case.

ACT TWO: CONFRONTATION
6. Break Into Two: The protagonist makes a decision and steps into a new world (literal or figurative). The adventure begins.
7. B Story: The subplot kicks inâoften a relationship or secondary goal that supports the main storyâs theme.
8. Fun and Games: The âheartâ of the story. Deliver on the premise and explore the stakes through action, conflict, and character growth.

14. Finale: The climax. Everything comes to a head in a final showdown or resolution. Your protagonist proves theyâve changedâor failed to.
15. Closing Image: A mirror of the opening image, showing how the worldâand your protagonistâhas transformed.
Yes! Romione and Dramione, mostly because of the bickering. This is why Harmione gives me the ick.
If your reason for not shipping Ron and Hermione is because of all their bickering... you have a child's grasp of their characters.
Ron has five brothers and a little sister. You have to be quick witted to keep up with the amount of friendly fire going on inside that house. The loudest gets heard. He's always ready for a fight.
Hermione secretly judges people by their ability to keep up with her intellectually. Condescension is a reflex. It pushes people away before they can actually match her (because god forbid she lose).
Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Ron can't stop once he gets started and Hermione is too stubborn to admit she's wrong. And, the thing is, they both clearly love it.
Hermione wouldn't want a "yes" man and Ron wouldn't want someone who can't handle teasing. He challenges her intellect, and she gets an intellectual challenge. It's a win win.

Hello! Can you help me and/or give me examples of how to write a pre-teen? Specifically a slightly mature for their age but still socially-awkward, selfless, empathetic, extroverted 10-year-old
How to Write a Pre-Teen
Simple but specific vocabulary: Pre-teens might not use very complex words, but they often know and throw in some âbig wordsâ theyâve recently learned or mimic words they hear adults use. Donât overdo it, thoughâtheyâll often misapply or half-understand these terms, which can create natural, humorous moments.
âItâs totally, like, a catastrophe that I forgot my project.â
Expressive dialogue: Pre-teens are enthusiastic and often exaggerate. They can also shift quickly between emotions, from excitement to frustration.
âThat was the best movie ever!â might turn into âActually, I mean, it was kinda boring in some parts, but, you know, overallâŚâ
Thoughtful yet blunt: Kids this age often havenât fully learned the âfiltersâ adults use. They can be direct and say things that are surprisingly insightful or unexpectedly honest.
Developing identity and opinions: Theyâre beginning to form their own beliefs but still echo the views of family, teachers, or friends.
âMom says people should never lie, but I wonder if little lies are okay if they help people feel betterâŚâ
Questioning and introspective moments: Pre-teens are curious about life, relationships, and âbig ideas.â They may ask questions, but sometimes keep their deep thoughts to themselves, exploring them internally.
âIf friends are supposed to be there for each other, why do I feel alone even when theyâre around?â
Struggle with abstract concepts: At this age, theyâre just beginning to understand abstract ideas like justice or friendship but often approach them in straightforward, literal ways.
Impulsivity and energy: They might shift quickly between activities and emotions, getting distracted or excited without much control over it. They may also blurt out ideas or act before thinking, especially if theyâre extroverted.
For instance, a character might immediately jump up to help someone even if they arenât sure what to do, or they might âborrowâ something without fully considering the consequences.
Physical awkwardness: Pre-teens can be a bit clumsy as theyâre still growing into their bodies. This can lead to endearing, awkward moments.
They might knock something over, trip over their own feet, or feel self-conscious in ways that show theyâre still figuring themselves out physically as well as socially.
Navigating social rules: Pre-teens are very aware of social ârulesâ but may not fully understand them. This is an age when they care a lot about what their friends think, but theyâre also just beginning to question these dynamics.
A pre-teen might want to befriend the âcoolâ kids but feel conflicted when they realize their values donât align. Or they may try too hard to impress friends and feel self-conscious afterward.
Conflicted loyalties: Friendships are often intense at this age, and they might struggle with conflicting feelings if friends argue or if they feel left out.
âI really like hanging out with Sarah, but I know Emma doesnât. Maybe if I can make them both laugh, we could all just⌠get along?â
Small gestures: Pre-teens often show they care in understated ways, like sharing snacks, giving a small gift, or cheering someone up when theyâre down. For a socially-awkward pre-teen, these gestures may come out clumsy but sweet.
Self-consciousness mixed with bravery: Pre-teens often fluctuate between trying to fit in and wanting to stand out. They might do something brave but then doubt themselves or quickly retreat if things donât go as planned.
For instance, a character might volunteer to speak in front of the class only to feel panicked once theyâre in the spotlight.
Hyper-awareness of themselves and others: Theyâre beginning to notice how others perceive them and may get flustered easily or worry about little things, like if their clothes look okay or if they sounded silly.
âI shouldnât have laughed like that⌠I bet everyone thought I sounded so weird.â
Joking as a defense: Pre-teens often use humor to cope, covering up their awkwardness or discomfort by making jokes.
Quick emotional shifts: They might go from laughing to frustrated to embarrassed in just a few minutes. They feel emotions intensely and may have outbursts or react strongly to things adults might dismiss as minor.
Heroic ideals vs. real-world disappointments: Many pre-teens have an idealized view of right and wrong, fairness, and heroism, and they may be disappointed when things donât align with these ideals. Theyâre just starting to understand that people arenât all good or all bad.
âI donât get it⌠why would she lie about something like that? Friends are supposed to be honest!â
Yes, I started posting it. No, it hasn't been beta read. No, I have no idea how many chapters it will be. Probably between 15 - 25 chapters, depening on how much writing I can get done.
